Has anyone even heard about this game?

Mirror's Edge is a game about running for your life when the police, security guards, and even news helicopters are shadowing you. In the demonstration that DICE gave, the action included leaping from one rooftop to another, vaulting over fences and other obstacles, sliding under pipes and overhangs, and even engaging in some martial arts combat. (Faith reportedly will not use a firearm, so you won't be shooting in this game.)

Momentum is a key idea in the game. It's not enough that you're jumping around this environment. To perform some moves, you'll need to string together a bunch of maneuvers to build up speed. For instance, you can climb over a fence, which takes a few seconds. But what happens if you jump off a neighboring rooftop, do a parachute roll upon landing (so you don't lose precious momentum), and use the ensuing momentum to vault over the fence in a heartbeat?

Ya, I'll probably get this when I'm done with RA3. I liked the running and jumping thing is Assassin's Creed, so hopefully it will be something like that.

//me likes it.

The GFX and the looks really make sense with the idea of the game. Btw, why is the police chasing her?

Graphics are great, Controls are simple. Played the demo and it's pretty good.

Posted: **08 Nov 2008, 11:56**

Yeah, a pretty good game, i liked the demo.

Posted: **08 Nov 2008, 13:35**

Omfg, i completely forgot about the demo out :O Gotta getch me handz on that.

And yea, the graphics are fantastic, remind me of Team Fortress 2 and portal, both of them, epic games.

Just a couple of days before release though.

i love how parkour is getting the attention it deserves in games now.

Is this really worth buying? IGN said it was a really short campaign, heard it was 5 hours and no online : O

7 hours, and online time trials i believe.

Well, the review from gametrailers gave it an 8.3, which isnt what id hoped for.

Thats a pretty good score for a new styled game like this, IGN gave it a 7.4 i think.

EA sucks, but still doesnt keep DICE and Maxis from releasing hits.

This game is addictive and surprisingly , the controls are flawless for the 360. However, the fact that there is No multiplayer is a drawback. Major.

Perhaps more of EAs tight deadlines getting in the way of awesumness?

...i got an email from EA about it, looks pretty cool, but what's the storyline?

Posted: **09 Dec 2008, 21:13**

Just ordered it.
Tried the demo and it plays really nice so let's see how the full game is like. It's already discounted a lot, got it for only 32 eur.

Posted: **09 Dec 2008, 21:24**

Wow, not bad bojan. Army of two is already 20 USD new here. xD and that is bad. lol

I was amazed at how fluid the controls of ME handled on the 360. My only reason for not buying it now is that it lacks any depth or replayability past the singleplayer campaign (similar to HL2).

Posted: **09 Dec 2008, 21:44**

Agreed, I wouldn't pay the full 60eur for it either, but I think that at 32eur (3.5eur shipping included) it's a good deal. The time trials should be fun though (with the online leaderboards).

Dead Space is next in line now

Posted: **09 Dec 2008, 22:11**

Im a little more picky with games, Ill wait till it hits 40 USD in the states. Its still 55USD at most places here.

@DeadSpace: The demo for that game (lights turned down, bass turned up) is PERFECT. Cant remember the last time I was freaked out since Doom 3.

I find the game to be a bit hard to get past the first stage though.

Posted: **11 Dec 2008, 18:16**

I tried the demo again before I thought about buying this and I'm really glad I didn't, and from the reviews about not alot of replay ability makes it a shame its not as good as people have been saying it is.

*Offtopic*

Get Deadspace, awesome game and has a little bit of replay ability, beating it on normal then on the unlocked really hard mode or whatever its called.

Posted: **11 Dec 2008, 20:03**

I've learned that the review scores are not to be trusted. I did enjoy the demo a lot and having a whole game play like that should be fun. Otherwise I can always sell it...

Deadspace is definitely another game I'm getting. Not now though, waiting for the price to fall down a bit more. Probably after new years.

Zero Punctuation: Mirror's Edge

Posted: **11 Dec 2008, 22:14**

Yep I saw that. Funny review

Posted: **03 Jan 2009, 10:32**

So I finished career and doing time trials now.
Ok career was a bit short and there were times where the momentum of the game comes to a halt as you don't know where to go. But still, the story was nice and even though I died a million times it was still seriously cool to play through.
Doing time trials now which are basically the best parts of career maps where you have to do a continuous run as fast as you can. Those are so addictive! Yesterday I just couldn't stop playing. Ended up going to bed much later than normal.

If you like the demo, you'll like the full game!

Posted: **03 Jan 2009, 14:46**

But there's gonna be a PC version? Cause if I remember well, they had PC in their trailers.

Posted: **03 Jan 2009, 16:34**

Yeah probably later this month or next month.
